ArmInfo.Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Igor Popov (Russia), Stefan Visconti (France) and Andrew Scheffer (USA) and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk, who arrived in Yerevan as part of the regional visit.

According to the press service of Armenian MFA, the co-chairs  informed about their meetings held in Baku.

Nalbandian and the co-chairs discussed issues related to the  principled agreement reached during the January meeting of the  Armenian and Azeri FMs in Krakow concerning the expansion of the  office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.   The head of the Armenian foreign ministry drew the attention of the  co-chairs to the fact that, unlike the co- chairs and Armenia, Baku  has not yet made any statements about the agreement and when it will  be ready for its implementation. "Strange memory of Baku: entangled  in the web of their fictitious falsifications, they forget the  agreements reached a month before and earlier, which the co-chairs  repeatedly announced, but at the same time with distorting  interpretations they remember the documents of 25 years ago, to which  the co- for known reasons, do not even refer, "said the Minister of  Foreign Affairs of Armenia.  Informing the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs  about the yesterday's killing of the Armenian soldier as a result of  the flagrant violation of the ceasefire regime from the Azerbaijani  side at the contact line of the troops, Nalbandian stressed that even  the presence of co-chairs in the region does not deter Baku from  provocative actions characteristic of him, thus Azerbaijan  demonstrates its disdain for the co-chair countries.  Touching upon  Baku's statements that Azerbaijan is interested in the speediest  settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the Armenian FM noted that the  words should be fixed by actions: the agreements reached at the  summits in Vienna, St. Petersburg and Geneva must be implemented, the  proposals of the co-chairs for the settlement of the conflict should  be taken as the basis for negotiations, to move forward on this  basis.
